  • the video coding techniques described in this disclosure may utilize a reference pictures identified in a reference picture set for inter-predicting a block of a current picture.
  • a reference picture is a picture that can be used for inter-predicting a block within a current picture.
  • video data corresponds to a sequence of individual pictures played back at a relatively high frame rate.
  • Video coders such as video encoders and video decoders, typically utilize block-based video coding techniques. That is, video coders may divide each of the pictures into a set of individual blocks of video data, then code each individual block of the pictures.
  • Block-based video coding typically involves two general steps.
  • the first step includes predicting a current block of video data. This prediction may be through the use of intra-prediction (that is, spatial prediction based on neighboring, previously coded blocks of the same picture) or inter-prediction (that is, temporal prediction based on one or more previously coded pictures). These previously coded pictures that can be used for inter-prediction may be referred to as reference pictures. Performance of this prediction process generates a predictive block for the current block.
  • the other step involves coding of a residual block.
  • the residual block represents pixel-by- pixel differences between the original, uncoded version of the current block and the predictive block.
  • a video encoder forms the residual block by calculating the pixel-by- pixel differences, whereas a video decoder adds the residual block to the predictive block to reproduce the original block.
  • a video encoder and a video decoder each include respective decoded picture buffers.
  • the respective decoded picture buffers store decoded pictures.
  • the video decoder may store a picture, after decoding, in its DPB. The video decoder may then subsequently output the decoded picture for display, and/or may utilize the decoded picture as a reference picture for decoding subsequent inter-predicted pictures.
  • the video encoder may also store decoded pictures as part of the encoding process. For example, after encoding a picture, the video encoder may perform a reconstruction process, in which the video encoder decodes the encoded picture. The video encoder may store the decoded picture in its DPB for inter-predicting subsequent pictures.
  • the video encoder and the video decoder may buffer decoded pictures used for predicting subsequent coded pictures and for future output in the DPB.
  • the DPB management process include the storage process of decoded pictures into the DPB, the marking process of the reference pictures, and the output and removal process of decoded pictures from the DPB.
  • the DPB management may include one or more of the following aspects: picture identification and reference picture
  • the video decoder may store pictures in the DPB, and one or more these pictures may potentially be reference pictures.
  • the video encoder may signal information that indicates which pictures in the DPB of the video decoder can be used for inter- predicting a current picture and/or pictures following the current picture in decoding order.
  • the video encoder may signal reference picture information for a current picture that the video decoder utilizes for deriving the reference picture set, where the reference picture set identifies reference pictures that can be used for inter- predicting the current picture and/or pictures following the current picture in decoding order. It should be understood that reference pictures that can be used for inter- prediction need not necessarily be used for inter-prediction.
  • the video encoder may signal the information that indicates which reference pictures belong to a reference picture set for each picture. For instance, for each picture, the video decoder may receive information that indicates which reference pictures can be used for inter-predicting that picture and/or inter-predicting pictures following that picture in decoding order.
  • the video encoder identifies reference pictures using picture order count (POC) values.
  • POC values describe the relative output order (that is, display order) of the corresponding pictures. For example, a picture with a lower POC value is displayed earlier than a picture with a higher POC value.
  • the display order of the pictures and the decoding order of the pictures should not be confused.
  • a picture with a lower POC value need not necessarily by decoded earlier than a picture with a higher POC value.
  • a picture with a higher POC value need not necessarily be decoded later than picture with a lower POC value.
  • the video encoder may signal the full POC values for certain types of reference pictures, and partial POC values for other types of reference pictures.
  • the video encoder may signal the full POC values, which includes the most significant bits (MSBs) and the least signification bits (LSBs), for an instantaneous decodable refresh (IDR) picture.
  • the IDR picture may be the first picture in a sequence of pictures.
  • the video encoder may signal the partial POC values, which may be only the LSBs.
  • the video decoder may determine the full POC value for a non-IDR picture based on the received LSBs for the non-IDR picture and the previous IDR picture.
  • the video decoder may decode a coded video sequence starting from an arbitrary random access point.
  • the random access point is a coded picture that is not the ordinal- first coded picture, which is the IDR picture, in the coded video sequence.
  • the video decoder may decode the video sequence starting from a non-IDR picture.
  • the video decoder may receive the partial POC values for the pictures, but may not be able to reconstruct the full POC values for the pictures because the IDR picture may not be available, and hence, the full POC value of the IDR picture may not be available. Then, the video decoder may receive a full POC value for a picture that is to be a reference picture. However, because the video decoder may not be able to reconstruct the full POC values of the decoded pictures, in this example, the video decoder may not be able to determine which picture in the stored DPB is meant to be the reference picture. In other words, the video decoder may not be able to map the POC value of the reference picture to any picture stored in the DPB, which negatively impacts the ability of the video decoder to implement random access.
  • the techniques described in this disclosure may provide for a more robust mechanism for random access.
  • the video encoder may signal full POC values (e.g., including MSBs and LSBs) for certain non-IDR random access point (RAP) pictures in the video sequence.
  • RAP non-IDR random access point
  • This may allow the video decoder to implement random access more robustly as there are other pictures in the video sequence whose POC values the video decoder can utilize for reconstructing the full POC values of decoded pictures.
  • the techniques described in this disclosure address issues that may be present when random access is performed starting from non-IDR pictures in the video sequence, and allow for other non-IDR pictures to be utilized as RAPs allowing for random access at other pictures in the video sequence.
  • reference pictures in a reference picture set may be generally categorized as long-term reference pictures and short-term reference pictures, where long-term reference pictures are stored longer in the DPB than short-term reference pictures.
  • the signaling overhead for long-term reference pictures may be potentially high and complicated.
  • the video encoder may nevertheless signal information for the long-term reference picture because the video decoder may need to use the long-term reference picture for inter-predicting pictures that are subsequent to the current picture in decoding order. Again, the video encoder may signal information that indicates which reference pictures can be used for inter-predicting the current picture and/or pictures following the current picture in decoding order.
  • the video decoder may determine that no picture subsequent to the current picture in decoding order needs to use the long-term reference picture for inter-predicting, which may not be true. In this case, in these other techniques, it may be possible that the video decoder removes the long-term reference picture from its DPB, which results in the inability of the video decoder to subsequently decode the picture that does need to utilize the removed long-term reference picture for inter-prediction.
  • the techniques described in this disclosure may provide for a mechanism to reduce the amount of information that is signaled when the video decoder does not need to use a long-term reference picture for inter-predicting a current picture, but may need the long-term reference picture for inter-predicting pictures subsequent to the current picture in decoding order.
  • the video encoder may signal a first value in the slice header of the current picture that indicates whether the video decoder needs any long-term reference pictures for inter-predicting the current picture.
  • the video encoder may also signal a second value in the slice header of the current picture that indicates whether the video decoder can potentially utilize any of the long-term reference pictures for inter-predicting the current picture (e.g., whether all long-term reference pictures may be used for inter-predicting the current picture). Based on these values, the video encoder may signal different amounts of information in the slice header for long-term reference pictures. Also, the video decoder may determine how much information to expect in the slice header for long-term reference pictures based on these values.
  • the techniques described in this disclosure may be related to DPB management, such as determining which pictures can be removed from the DPB.
  • Picture removal and picture output or display should not be confused.
  • Picture output or display refers to when a picture stored in the DPB is displayed; however, the picture may still remain within DPB because the video encoder or video decoder may utilize that picture for inter-predicting other pictures.
  • Picture removal refers to removal of the picture from the DPB such that the picture is no longer available for prediction purposes.
  • Some current techniques rely upon reference picture marking to determine which pictures should be removed from the DPB. For reference picture marking, the maximum number, referred to as M (num ref frames), of reference pictures used for inter-prediction is indicated in the active sequence parameter set.
  • a reference picture When a reference picture is decoded, it is marked as "used for reference.” If the decoding of the reference picture caused more than M pictures marked as "used for reference,” at least one picture must be marked as "unused for reference.” The DPB removal process then would remove pictures marked as "unused for reference” from the DPB if they are not needed for output as well.
  • a picture When a picture is decoded, it may be either a non-reference picture or a reference picture.
  • a reference picture may be a long-term reference picture or short- term reference picture, and when it is marked as "unused for reference", it may become no longer needed for reference. In some video coding standards, there may be reference picture marking operations that change the status of the reference pictures.
  • the operation mode for reference picture marking may be selected on picture basis; whereas, sliding window operation may work as a first-in-first-out queue with a fixed number of short-term reference pictures. In other words, short-term reference pictures with earliest decoding time may be the first to be removed (marked as picture not used for reference), in an implicit fashion.
  • the adaptive memory control however removes short-term or long-term pictures explicitly. It also enables switching the status of the short-term and long-term pictures, etc.
  • a video encoder may signal syntax elements that specify which pictures should be marked as used for reference.
  • the video decoder may receive the syntax elements and mark the pictures as specified. In sliding window, the video encoder may not need to signal which pictures should be marked as used for reference. Rather, the video decoder may implicitly (i.e., without receiving syntax elements) determine which pictures should be marked as used for reference based on which pictures are within the sliding window.
  • the techniques described in this disclosure may rely on the temporal identification value of pictures stored in the DPB and the current picture to determine which pictures in the DPB can be removed. In some examples, there may be other factors, in addition to the temporal identification value, that the video encoder and video decoder may utilize to determine which picture in the DBP can be removed.
  • the temporal identification value (temporal id) may be hierarchical value that indicates which pictures can be used for coding the current picture.
  • a picture with a particular temporal id value can possibly be a reference picture for pictures with equal or greater temporal id values, but not vice-versa.
  • a picture with a temporal id value of 1 can possibly be a reference picture for pictures with temporal id values of 1 , 2, 3,..., but not for a picture with a temporal id value of 0.
  • the lowest temporal id value may also indicate the lowest display rate. For example, if a video decoder only decoded pictures with temporal id values of 0, the display rate may be 7.5 pictures per second. If a video decoder only decoded pictures with temporal id values of 0 and 1, the display rate may be 15 pictures per second, and so forth.
  • the reference picture set for the current picture may be defined in such a manner that the reference picture set does not include pictures with higher temporal id values than that of the current picture. For example, if the temporal id value of a picture designated as picture A is greater than that of the current picture, the reference picture set for the current picture may not include picture A.
  • the video encoder or the video decoder may remove picture A from its respective DPB. However, the video encoder and the video decoder may need picture A for inter-prediction of pictures subsequent to the current picture in decoding order whose temporal id value is greater than that of the current picture.
  • the techniques described in this disclosure provide for a mechanism by which pictures with higher temporal id values than those of the current picture are not necessarily removed from the DPB.
  • the video encoder and video decoder may be configured to remove a picture from its respective DPB if (1) the picture is not included in the reference picture set of the current picture, (2) the picture is not needed for output, and (3) the temporal id value of the picture is less than or equal to that of the current picture.
  • the techniques may ensure that the video encoder and the video decoder do not inadvertently remove a picture for the DPB that could potentially be needed for inter-predicting a picture subsequent to the current picture in decoding order whose temporal id value is greater than that of the current picture.
  • the video decoder may construct a reference picture list or reference picture lists. The video decoder may then inter-predict the current picture based on reference pictures identified in the reference picture list(s). The following provides a brief description of reference picture list construction.
  • the video encoder may similarly construct reference picture lists as part of the reconstruction process needed to decode encoded pictures for storage in the DPB.
  • the video encoder and video decoder may construct a single reference picture list (referred to as List 0 or RefPicListO), and in other examples, the video encoder and video decoder may construct two reference picture lists (List 0 and List 1). List 1 maybe referred to as RefPicListl .
  • the video encoder and video decoder may construct one reference picture list (either List 0 or List 1).
  • a uni-directionally predicted slice refers to a slice of a picture whose blocks are predicted from one reference picture.
